It sounds like it was a good idea to avoid Baton Rouge, but I’m sorry it took you so long to get home! I’m glad that things aren’t too bad in your neck of the woods
 I’m happy that you were able to stop off for a nice dinner!  Welcome home! You were missed!!!

Being bipolar and an alcoholic is tough.
I drank 18 drinks today and don't feel sick like I should... my tolerance is high and I spread them out over 12 hours. I am home from vacation...need to get back to dieting and limiting my drinking. This is the most I have drank in for ever. I need to get to bed as I start work again in the morning. hubby is in bed already. It has been a long time that I have drank this much. 2 weeks ago I met with my sponsor and the last thing she said to me was "don't drink" I drank a lot over the past 2 weeks. I am supposed to call her when I get back and the next AA meeting is wednesday. It is an agnostic/atheist group meeting. AA is very religious, which I am not. I will approach cautiously. bizi

Many years ago now, when I was having a really difficult time getting stabilized on meds, Mari suggested I try gabapentin as another mood stabilizer, and it turned out to be the magic bullet for me...
I hope that your pdoc is on board. It's worth a shot. It comes with far less side effects than other adjunct options, and you need more help than you are currently getting. I'm glad that you are going to see your sponsor tonight. I think that she will like your book. Maybe she will even start using it herself. $60 is a lot to save on prescriptions! I'm fortunate in that almost all of mine are very cheap, with the exception of my inhaler, but there is nowhere to save money on that. |

I’m sorry hun.
I know we talked about both those meds, but not together, and not discontinuing the Lamictal. I hope that the Vraylar be temporary? How do you feel about the med changes? How do you REALLY feel about going to detox right now? You know you can’t be a moderate drinker. Do you just don’t want to go because you don’t feel ready/ don’t want to stop drinking now? No matter what, your feelings are valid, and there is no judgment here (((HUGS))) This is a lot to digest ((( HUGS))) Lots of love to you today! |

I think she said that she would keep a low dose 100mg of lamictal on board.
vylar she said that she had a patient on it who said that it lifted the fog, so maybe it will help me too? I don't know...have not read anything about it yet. I don't think that I have spelled it correctly. bizi I wanted a change...just am unsure about this. am willing to try though. bizi who wants more stability....
